Two-factor authentication? That's so old school. I heard they're developing mind-reading security systems these days. Finch should really keep up with the latest trends!

Ah, the age-old debate: which combination of authentication mechanisms is the most secure? I'd say Finch nailed it with the retina scan and code. No more sticky notes with passwords around the office!

I agree, this is a classic example of two-factor authentication. Retina scan is a biometric factor, and the six-digit code is a knowledge factor. Well-done, Finch!
